Taste and texture:

This chocolate banana bread is moist, light, fluffy and full of chocolate flavour. It tastes like rich dark chocolate and don't worry, if you don't like coffee it doesn't actually taste like coffee. The coffee just helps enhance the dark chocolate flavour and make it even richer. This bread tastes like you are eating a delicious chocolate cake.

Key ingredients and substitutions:

• Coffee - brewed coffee helps accentuate the chocolate flavour of this espresso banana bread and helps give it even more moisture. You can use any type of brewed coffee that you like to make this recipe.
• Almond flour - one of my favorite gluten free flours, almond flour is high in fiber, healthy fats and is higher in protein compared to most grain flours. Be sure to use almond flour and not almond meal to make this banana bread recipe. If you can't have almonds I would use cashew flour instead.
• Cocoa powder - cocoa powder is used to give this bread that delicious chocolate flavour. Instead of cocoa powder you can also use cacao powder.
• Ripe bananas - ripe bananas add both natural sweetness and moisture to this mocha banana bread recipe. Be sure to use ripe bananas with black spots and not green bananas.
• Honey - honey is a delicious natural sweetener which helps keep this banana bread recipe refined sugar free. Instead of honey you can also use maple syrup.

How to make this recipe:

Step one:

First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Next, add all the ingredients, except the optional chocolate chips, to your standing mixer and blend until you have a smooth batter.

Then line a bread pan with parchment paper and transfer the batter to the lined bread pan, and spread evenly with a knife or spoon. Then sprinkle the chocolate chips over top of the bread.

Tips and variations:

• Be sure to use ripe bananas to make this mocha banana bread.

Store this bread in an airtight container at room temperature for 3 days, or in the fridge for up to 7 days.
